Credit to the players, some of those pens under such pressure were brilliant. The Zambian players looked so small and young and nervous compared to the Ivorians, but they all did the job cooly, especially the one hammered into the top right, absolute stunning pen.

Sepp Blatter didnt exactly look comfortable there....

Amazing story for Zambia, after the plane crash and everything. Heart warming.

Well done Zambia, great achievement. But this tournament on the whole was pretty cack. Watched a bit of the semi-final the other night and there was hardly anyone in the ground ffs. Bit of a tired format and doesn't have the same prestige of other comparable international competitions, needs to have new life breathed into it somehow.
